Abstract

This article reports the results of a multisite, interprofessional training initiative for social work students focused on using Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) culturally adapted to include elements of faith and spirituality using an interactive Web-based learning management system. A total of 251 undergraduate and graduate social work students completed the 4-hr training with pre- and post-assessments, with 191 completing 30-day follow-up assessments. Significant increases in SBIRT perceived knowledge and confidence in implementing SBIRT were observed among both graduate and undergraduate students. Implications for culturally adapted SBIRT training in social work education are discussed.
